Chinese dining table

After hearing the news that Changsun Wuji had backed down with Li Ji, Yunchu who was standing behind finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is enough to die one Chang Shu tonight, if a few more die, it will affect the overall structure of Datang society.

Overall, Li Zhi won this game.

However, there are endless troubles.

Not many people in Chang'an City could sleep well tonight. When the officials left the palace, their faces were all solemn, and they didn't go home.

The discussion between Yunchu and Wenrou Di Renjie was very short, and they reached a consensus in just three sentences.

The first point is that neither Wannian County nor Chang'an County will become the emperor's experimental field!
The second point, immediately, immediately, stay away from Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan, and absolutely do not have any work interaction with them.

The third point is to continue to follow your own ideas and move forward at your own pace, and never look back.

Others don't know what's going on in the experimental field, so how could Yunchu not understand that the experimental field can indeed reap good political achievements in a short period of time because of the large amount of resources allocated to it.

However, it’s okay if everything goes well in the experimental field. If it doesn’t go well, the head of the chief officer in the experimental field is a tool used by the emperor to explain to his courtiers.

Furthermore, after paying such a high price, Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan will never tolerate others getting involved in their domain.

Just like Pei Xingjian came to discuss with Yunchu some time ago, but in the end he left without saying a word because of Wen Wen and Di Renjie.

All in all, this was a thankless thing. Yunchu liked Datang, but he didn't like Liu Rengui to the extent that he was willing to sacrifice his life to Datang.

Compared with Li Zhi's drastic reforms, Yunchu felt that Wannian County and Chang'an County were better developed. When people found something wrong one day, the general trend had already taken shape.

When Yun Chu came home, the whole family was waiting for him, Yun Jin and Yun Jin, even though they were dozing off constantly, still insisted on waiting for Grandpa to come back.

Tonight, many families in Chang'an City are waiting for the head of the family to come back.

Seeing Grandpa came back, Yun Jin opened her arms for Grandpa to hug, and Yun Jin did the same afterward.

After Yunchu hugged the two children for a while, after washing up, he came to the dinner table and the family had dinner together.

After the child finished eating and went to bed, Yu Xiurong whispered, "Is it dangerous?"

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Chang Shulai was beheaded on the spot, Changsun Wuji, and Li Ji will no longer obstruct His Majesty's intentions."

"So Your Majesty has won?"

"It's hard to say now. Looking at the future development, Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan put themselves on the fire this time."

"I hope they can succeed, but it's a pity that Pei Xingjian comes from a noble family, and Li Jingxuan comes from a poor family, and neither of them are mentally tough, so it's hard to bear the pressure."

Yu Xiurong pushed the dish towards Yunchu and said, "Eat something else, don't just eat what's in front of you."

Yun Chu shook his head, then buried himself in eating again.

When resting at night, Yunchu's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't sleep no matter what, neither could Yu Xiurong, tossing and turning over there made it even more difficult for Yunchu to fall asleep.

Unable to lie down anymore, Yunchu put on his clothes and got up, wandering around in the yard by himself.

The night in June in Chang'an is as hot as the day, and even the fact that the sun can't be seen makes people more irritable. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda stands upright in the sky, even the stars block a large area.

Yu Xiurong followed and came out and sat beside Yunchu and said, "Is this the reform your husband mentioned before?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right, this is the reform method you are familiar with."

Yu Xiurong said in surprise, "Reforms will kill people."

Yun Chu lazily said, "Chang Shulai is the first head, and there will be many more in the future."

Yu Xiurong said, "Then don't change the law, everyone can live in peace and stability."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "A reform will kill a group of people, and an unchanging law will mean that the entire Tang Dynasty will have no future."

"And our emperor is now a far-sighted monarch. He wants Li Tang's country to last forever. Even if it can't last forever, he wants to support it for a few more years."

"Furthermore, the emperor thinks that the throne can have one surname for generations, but officials must not do so. You see, a contradiction arises here."

Yu Xiurong was shocked when he heard Yunchu's words, Yunchu put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Every generation in our family has a mission for a generation, and it has nothing to do with them."

"How could it be irrelevant? In Datang, the only way to be an official is the right way."

"Then let's endure it. The current emperor is too powerful. No one can beat him. The fear of all of us comes from the emperor, and also from what the emperor will do next. How far will he go before he stops?"

Yu Xiurong said tremblingly, "As long as the emperor sees the benefits, the emperor will continue to do it. It's like seeing a gold mine. It won't be finished until all the gold is dug out."

Of course Yunchu knows this truth. He has seen many such operations before. Once a place finds that a certain industry is suitable for this place, it will go all out to develop this industry until it reaches its end.

This is why officials develop local and strong industries, a tree is better than a field of grass.

Now the emperor is going to dig into the gold mine of the humble family, and he hopes to find some new talents from the humble family to replace those entrenched honorable groups.

To him, these poor children are nothing more than leeks, and new leeks will grow after harvesting. The most important thing is-the leeks have no chance to grow into towering trees.

In Li Zhi's deepest fantasy, there is only one towering tree in this fertile land of Tang Dynasty, and under this towering tree, there are endless leeks growing neatly as far as the eye can see.

Although June is not a good time to eat leeks, the leeks at this time are not only very old but also clogged, but the breakfast at Yunchu's house is a box of leeks that they haven't eaten for a long time.

When the sun rose, the people of Chang'an City started a new day of life. The terrible court meeting last night had no effect on them.

All the cotton in Wannian County was pulled out, and the cotton in Chang'an County was also pulled out. When the farmland was plowed deeply and tried to expose it to the sun, for some reason, the fields in Wannian and Chang'an counties were covered with insects. The number of bugs is appalling.

Even the main road is covered with soft, colorful bugs, and as the wheels roll over, two burst ruts will appear on the road.

Some insects will crawl into the water and drown, and some insects will climb up the tree, and soon spit out some messy silk, wrapping the leaves of the tree.

Because there are so many bugs, I don’t know where so many birds come from. They fly in the sky like a blanket, eating bugs on the ground and trees over and over again.

In sharp contrast to the birds in the sky, there are a large number of ducks raised in Wannian County and Chang'an County.

They lined up in a large line and ate all the way from this end of the earth to the end.

From the appearance of the bugs to the fact that none of the bugs were visible, it took only eight short days.

Although most of the bugs were eaten by birds and ducks, some of them successfully turned into cocoons. After ten days or so, these bugs will turn into various butterflies and moths, and then lay eggs everywhere. Continue to brew the next pest plague.

Only a few woodpeckers are pecking at these cocoons, and such killing efforts are not enough to eliminate the disaster.

In fact, a pest plague of this scale is not a big problem. Farming peoples have coexisted with such disasters for thousands of years, so it is no big deal.

Therefore, Yunchu ordered to buy the trees in the field. These trees grew in the field, and they were no longer beneficial to the field.

Chang'an County followed up immediately, so the field outside Chang'an City was already looking like a flat river.

The collection of more trees with pests will affect the price of charcoal this year, because Yunchu burned all these trees into charcoal on the spot.

So, outside the endless Chang'an city, thick smoke rose up.

"What is Yunchu doing?" When thick smoke enveloped Chang'an City, Li Zhi asked displeasedly when he smelled the smoke.

"Insect plagues broke out in the two counties of Chang'an in ten thousand years. Yunchu ordered the trees outside the city to be cut down, and now they are burning charcoal," Wu Mei replied with a smile while hugging Li Dan.

"Why did you cut down the tree when you found a pest infestation?"

"Because the trees are full of insect eggs, if we don't get rid of them, there will be another insect plague next year. In order not to waste the trees, he burns the trees into charcoal, which means there is no waste."

"Even weeping willows at Baqiao, one of the eight scenic spots in Chang'an, will take a few more years to see."

"What? He even cut down the weeping willows on both sides of the Ba River?"

"Yeah, if you don't cut it down, it will be a disaster next year."

"To kill bugs, the price is too high."

"What's the difference between Yunchu's current behavior and what His Majesty is doing now? If you want to accomplish something big, it's not what Your Majesty should have in mind."

Li Zhi smacked his mouth twice and said, "Qujiang..."

Wu Mei raised her head and smiled and said, "Qujiang will not be spared. Now there is not a single tree. Anyway, His Majesty likes bamboo. Yunchu left the bamboo for His Majesty. You can continue to cut bamboo to feed the bears."

"You said that I also need to do something like Izumo's foot pain and beheading?"

Wu Mei glanced at the emperor and said, "What you are facing is not a mere foot pain, but a heartache."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei in silence for a moment and said, "Everything is worth it, right?"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Before you want to cut down a tree, shouldn't you prepare the tools first?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then let Li Yifu go back to Beijing, Xu Jingzong moved to Zhongshuling."

Wu Mei giggled and said, "You can think about it, there is no turning back when you shoot the bow."

Li Zhi spread his arms and said, "Recently, I always feel that the bed is not wide enough, and I always feel cramped when I sleep."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor. Cao Aman once said: "Dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide, big can make clouds and fog, and small can hide itself. No matter how big or small, they are nothing but Your Majesty." just a thought"
